After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1020 One Thousand Chapters Twenty Belonging
However, Haijiao disagreed.

After returning home, Haijiao heard about Xiaomei's arrangement and said without much hesitation that he preferred the imitation ginkgo hairpin and Xiaomei could just take the original one. The latter was more exquisitely made, older, and looked more respectable. After a jeweler had repaired it a little and replaced the fallen pearls, Xiaomei could use it as a daily ornament and wear it every day. No one would think it was cheap.

Haitang frowned when she heard this: "Why? This original hairpin is an heirloom of the Qiao family. Isn't it just right for brother to keep it? You can give the hairpin to Sister Zhuang. When you have a daughter in the future, you can give it to her! After all, this imitation hairpin is not as exquisite as the original one, and it was made by my parents in the northwest..."

"It is because my parents made it in the northwest, and it is an old item that my mother wears on her head every day, that I want to keep it." Haijiao said, "The original hairpin is certainly more exquisite, but the one I saw my mother wearing every day when I was a child is a replica, and I feel more familiar with it. Besides, there are my parents' hair in the hairpin. They died early and couldn't see us grow up, let alone my future children. So I will show the hair to the children. When they see the hair, they will think they are seeing their grandparents."

Haijiao thought that the younger sister should take the original one, not only because it was more exquisite, but also because she was still young when her parents died, and her memory of the imitation hairpin was not as deep as his, so it didn't matter if she didn't keep it: "When mother died, I personally pulled this hairpin off her head and put it in the box. Although grandma gave the hairpin to you, my younger sister, when she distributed our parents' relics to us, it was because you were a girl, and all the clothes and jewelry were given to you. Now that there are two similar hairpins, I want the imitation one. When I look at it, it's like seeing mother, and keeping it is just right to remind me of it."

Haitang opened her mouth, thinking that she was a time traveler after all, and her soul was not Qiao's biological daughter. Since Haijiao wanted the imitation hairpin and the hair of her parents in it so much, she seemed to have no reason to fight with her brother for it. She wanted the imitation hairpin and missed her deceased mother, but it was actually more influenced by her original body's thinking, not because she really had deep feelings for Qiao, so why bother to make things difficult for her brother?

The original hairpin is also good. This is also the ornament that Qiao wore every day during her Girls' Generation!

Haitang lowered her head and handed over the imitation hairpin, and put the original one back into her box. She didn't say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not in a good mood.

When Haijiao got the hairpin and saw his younger sister's expression, he immediately felt guilty. However, he was reluctant to hand over the hairpin, so he deliberately changed the subject: "When these two hairpins are put together, they are indeed quite different. I heard that this hairpin was originally made for my grandmother by my grandfather's own drawing. After the two elders passed away, the thing was left to my mother. My mother has been wearing it since she was a child, thinking of it as a memory of her parents. When the family was searched, she thought that such a worthless silver hairpin could be preserved, but she didn't expect that because it looked more delicate than ordinary hairpins, the officers and soldiers would not let it go and directly pulled it out of my mother's head. My mother has been obsessed with this hairpin ever since then. When my father heard about it, he drew a blueprint based on the shape of the hairpin head described by my mother and asked a craftsman to imitate it. Although my mother knew at a glance that the two hairpins were very different, it was still my father's intention, so my mother happily accepted it and wore it on her head every day..."

The original hairpin was made by Grandfather Qiao for Grandmother Qiao, and the imitation hairpin was made by Father Hai Dingcheng to comfort Mother Qiao. Although these two hairpins are not expensive, they are the proof of the love between two generations of the Qiao family. For the descendants of the Qiao family, they have different meanings.

Haitang calmed down after hearing this. She touched the pattern of the original ginkgo hairpin and said softly, "Now these two hairpins have been inherited by my brother and me. We must get along well with our spouses and love them forever, so as to live up to the origin of this pair of hairpins."

Haijiao smiled when he heard this and nodded heavily: "Of course it should be so." The hairpin's ownership was thus determined. Haitang said no more and only asked her brother: "I met the Zhuang family today. What plans do Grandpa Zhuang and Uncle Zhuang have? When do you plan to hold your wedding with Sister Minyi?"

Haijiao replied, "At present, there are patients in both Zhuang and Geng families, so it is not convenient to discuss wedding matters with our family. Grandpa and grandma should not ask too much. However, after they moved to the house that our family helped to rent, they can rest assured. As long as the patient gets better, the follow-up matters will be put on the agenda one by one. Grandpa Zhuang mentioned that he would come to visit during the New Year, and then the elders of the two families will definitely discuss the wedding date between Minyi and me. Uncle Zhuang may be reluctant to let his daughter go, but no matter what, I have to get married before you get married, so the date will not be later than summer."

The Hai and Zhuang families have been engaged for several years. Haijiao and Zhuang Minyi have reached the marriageable age, but the man has been pursuing his career, which has delayed the marriage. Now that both families have arrived in the capital, the marriage is bound to be completed according to the etiquette. No one can complain, and there is no reason to refuse. The marriage between Haitang and Jin Jiashu was granted by the late emperor, and even the wedding date was selected by the palace and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. Naturally, it is impossible to postpone it indefinitely. Zhuang Minyi's father was reluctant to let his daughter go, and he had little room for hesitation in his daughter's marriage.

Haijiao was not in a hurry. He had comforted Zhuang Minyi with many words today, asking her to rest and recuperate until she was settled in Beijing.

Furthermore, Zhuang Shitong is old and does not want to continue to work in the local government. If he cannot find a leisurely job in Beijing when he returns to Beijing, he will probably retire. He once revealed that he has no relatives in his hometown, and his son has no intention of going back after being frightened in Datong. Therefore, he has given up the idea of ​​returning to his hometown to live in retirement, and is likely to buy a house in Beijing to settle down. This will also take a lot of energy. Before the Zhuang family officially moves into the new home and settles down, Zhuang Minyi probably can't officially get married.

Hai Jiao was planning to help Yue's family as much as possible while he was not busy with official duties, run errands and do trivial things, and please his father-in-law and grandfather-in-law, so that they would be willing to marry Zhuang Minyi to him as soon as possible. Moreover, he was going to get married, and the bride's dowry had to be prepared well. When Zhuang Minyi was glorious, he would also be proud of it.

For this reason, Haijiao said to his younger sister Haitang: "Originally, I was going to prepare a dowry for you, but now I may have to prepare my own daughter-in-law's share as well. I'm afraid it will take some time. If you have any ideas or want something, just tell me so that I can buy it all for you."

Haitang smiled and said, "I have asked Shopkeeper Xiao Feng for many new product catalogs from wedding supply stores. You just need to select things from the catalogs. You don't have to worry about it. When the time comes, you can send a copy of these catalogs to Sister Minyi. You don't have to say anything. The dealer will know that you are urging her to get married!"

Haijiao's ears turned red slightly, and he coughed uncomfortably, saying, "Oh, and there's Baozhu's share. She and cousin Qiao may have married earlier than us, so they were more anxious to prepare their dowry. My cousin can't handle it alone, so our family must help."

Haitang sneered, "My cousin can't handle it alone, so Baozhu and his aunt don't plan to help? The New Year is coming soon, so they should come to the capital to accompany my cousin and Sister Baozhu, right? I can't let my brother not show up when Sister Baozhu is about to get married, otherwise the relatives will laugh at me!"
